"How's the matter I asked you to investigate going?" Nan Xun took out his cell phone and called Xie Jiashu.
Xie Jiashu's voice came from the other end of the line: "I've checked. Ten years ago, An Jinli's assistant was not Zhao Yue, but Lin Zhongwei. But after Xue Li'er was kidnapped, Lin Zhongwei suddenly resigned. No one at Anhe knows the specific reason."
Resigning right after Xue Li'er's kidnapping? This timing is really strange.
"Where is Lin Zhongwei now?"
Xie Jiashu was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Not yet. Lin Zhongwei isn't from the capital. He has a rather aloof personality. When he was An Jinli's assistant at Anhe, he didn't have any personal contact with other employees except for work-related interactions. People at Anhe found Lin Zhongwei difficult to get close to, so they kept their distance from him and didn't know much about his personal situation."
"Did you find out where he's from?"
"I found out," Xie Jiashu said. "Lin Zhongwei is from Lancheng and grew up in a single-parent family. He has never been married. I've already visited his hometown in Lancheng. Neighbors say his mother was seriously ill ten years ago, and Lin Zhongwei suddenly returned to take care of her. Just five years ago, his mother died of illness. He sold the house in his hometown, and no one knows where he went."
"Jiashu," Nanxun said, "We must find Lin Zhongwei. That old fox An Jinli won't tell us the truth. So he might be the only one who knows the truth."
"Don't worry," Xie Jiashu said, "I've already used all my connections to investigate. I believe I'll be able to find his whereabouts in a few days."
"Okay." Nanxun nodded, "I believe you."
After hanging up the phone, Nan Xun sorted out his thoughts in the empty ward, opened the door and went to Zhu Zhu's ward next door.
As soon as she entered the room, Zhu Zhu saw him and sat up reflexively, looking at him intently.
Looking at Zhu Zhu's expression, Nan Xun knew that she must have something to ask him, so she had been waiting for him to come back.
With a step of his long legs, Nanxun sat down next to Zhu Zhu.
"What's wrong?" Nanxun asked softly, "Is there anything you want to ask me?"
Zhu Zhu thought for a while and then slowly said, "Are you...hiding something from me?"
Nan Xun looked directly into Zhu Zhu's eyes and was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed.
"You're such a mischievous spirit." Nan Xun reached out and scratched Zhu Zhu's nose lovingly, "You really can't hide anything from me."
"Tell me." Zhu Zhu became a little worried. "What's the matter?"
Nan Xun curled his lips and spoke slowly: "I didn't believe anything you said before. But now that you're in trouble, I believe you."
Nan Xun's eyes were surprisingly gentle, as if a pool of spring water melted Zhu Zhu into them.
"Zhu Zhu, I didn't protect you well before," Nan Xun continued, "but I won't do that again. From now on, I will only trust you and listen to you, okay? So, please forgive my past mistakes."
"What... is wrong with you?" Zhu Zhu felt very distressed when she saw Nan Xun acting so abnormally.
"Li'er." This time, when Nanxun said Xue Li'er's name, the affection he had in the past was gone. "I think you're right. Your kidnapping this time, as well as everything you've suffered before, are probably related to Li'er."
